Title: Plasma spray method
Inventor: HOSPACH ANDREAS
IPC: C23C4/12
Filed: 2013-01-16
Abstract: The invention relates to a plasma spray method which can serve as a starting point for a manufacture of metal nanopowder, nitride nanopowder or carbide nanopowder or metal films, nitride films or carbide films. To achieve an inexpensive manufacture of the nanopowder or of the film, in the plasma spray in accordance with the invention a starting material (P) which contains a metal or silicon oxide is introduced into a plasma jet (113) at a process pressure of at most 1000 Pa, in particular at most 400 Pa. The starting material (P) contains a metal or silicon oxide which vaporizes in the plasma jet (113) and is reduced in so doing. After the reduction, the metal or silicon which formed the metal or silicon oxide in the starting material is thus present in pure form or in almost pure form.  The metal or silicon can be deposited in the form of nanopowder or of a film (124). Nitride nanoparticles or films or carbide nanoparticles or films can be generated inexpensively by addition of a reactant (R) containing nitrogen or carbon.
